Tommy Thompson told Walker not to treat his opposition this way. He reportedly told Walker in the winter of 2011 that he could have got 90% of what he wanted without going the divide & conquer Act 10 route. Thompson said it would divide the state & drive business away.

Two years later, the state is divided. The lawsuits endless. We've gone from 11th to 44th in job creation, wages are dropping. Walker is borrowing $2.1 billion dollars. And, we dropped from 1.9% under the national unemployment rate to only .5% under today.

If that's not failure I don't know what is. Walker should man up to his failure and change policy course. Suggest he give Tommy Thompson a phone call and ask how to put the state he broke back together again.

With all due respect, Obama is president of the entire nation. Scott Walker is governor of Wisconsin, and yet has had 6 times as many speeches outside the state than inside. My guess is that most of the people who elected him kind of thought he would address the multitudinous problems within our borders before taking his show on the road and campaigning for the presidency.

Wrong... What we hope is that all states will individually adopt the attitude of WI to counteract the King's socialist rule. If he needs to travel the country to educate others and give them strength and confidence they will need to face the foaming-mouth, threatening, union maniacs... More power to him!
